Rain wreaks havoc with schedule

NEW YORK (AP) -- The doubleheader between the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and New York Yankees was postponed because of rain Wednesday, leaving few options for a makeup date and possibly forcing New York to play a split doubleheader against separate teams later this season.
The first game Wednesday was supposed to be a makeup of Monday's doubleheader that was changed to a single night game when the Devil Rays were unable to get to New York in time for Game 1 due to Hurricane Frances.
The Yankees were annoyed at the commissioner's office over the way that situation was handled. They waited around all day Monday to play one night game, then spent half the day in the clubhouse Wednesday hoping the rain would stop.
"It's kind of ironic, isn't it?" pitcher Mike Mussina said. "It's raining today, it might be raining tomorrow. We might have three games left, who knows?"
More heavy rain was forecast for today in New York, remnants of Hurricanes Frances that hit Florida last weekend. The teams were slated to play a doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m., but even if they got it in, that leaves one game that still needs to be made up.
